Which is hotter, Canopus or Vega? How much brighter?

Physics
1 answer:
marusya05 [52]3 years ago
4 0

Temperature determines the hotness or coldness. The surface temperature of Canopus is 7350 K. The surface temperature of Vega is 9602 K. Because the surface temperature of Vega is greater than Canopus, Vega is hotter.

Brightness is determined by the star's magnitude. The apparent magnitude of Canopus is (-0.72) and that of Vega is (0.03). we know that, lesser the magnitude, brighter is the star. Hence, Canopus is brighter.

Vega is hotter but Canopus is brighter. This is because, brightness depends on the star's distance and size of the star as well other than the factor temperature.

Complete the ray diagram and label incident ray, refracted ray, angle of incidence, and angle of refraction ​
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Solution

verified

Verified by Toppr

(a) The labelled diagram is shown.

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. Refractive index of diamond is the ratio of the speed of light in air to the speed of light in diamond.i.e.,

μ=  

Speedoflightindiamond

Speedoflightinair

​

 

and, the ratio of these velocities is 2.42. i.e., This means that the speed of light in diamond will reduce by a factor of 2.42 as compared to its speed in air. In other words, the speed of light in diamond is  

1/2.42

times the speed of light in vacuum.

Explanation:

a) Draw and label the diagram given :

  (i) Incident ray

  (ii) Refracted ray

  (iii) Emergent ray

  (iv) Angle of reflection

  (v) Angle of deviation

  (v) Angle of emergence

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. What is the meaning of this statement in relation to speed of light?

A python can detect thermal radiation from objects that differ in temperature from their environment as long as the received int
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

10.52 m

Explanation:

The power radiated by a body is given by

P = σεAT⁴ where ε = emissivity = 0.97, T = temperature = 30 C + 273 = 303 K, A = surface area of human body = 1.8 m², σ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²K⁴

P = σεAT⁴ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ ×  0.97 × 1.8 m² × (303)⁴ = 834.45 W

This is the power radiated by the human body.

The intensity I = P/A where A = 4πr² where r = distance from human body.

I = P/4πr²

r = (√P/πI)/2

If the python is able to detect an intensity of 0.60 W/m², with a power of 834.45 W emitted by the human body, the maximum distance r, is thus

r = (√P/πI)/2 = (√834.45/0.60π)/2 = 21.04/2 = 10.52 m

So, the maximum distance at which a python could detect your presence is 10.52 m.

Why is weathering slow in cold, dry places?
Alexxandr [17]

Rate of weathering depends on temperature and moisture. Cold dry places have less water to weather things

What current flows through a 2.56-cm-diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20.0 cm long, when 1.00 ✕ 103 V is applied to it? (Suc
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Current, I = 0.0011 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of rod, d = 2.56 cm

Radius of rod, r = 1.28 cm = 0.0128 m

The resistivity of the pure silicon, \rho=2300\ \Omega-m

Length of rod, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Voltage, V=1\times 10^3\ V

The resistivity of the rod is given by :

R=\rho\dfrac{L}{A}

R=2300\ \Omega-m\dfrac{0.2\ m}{\pi (0.0128\ m)^2}

R = 893692.30 ohms

Current flowing in the rod is calculated using Ohm's law as :

V = I R

I=\dfrac{V}{R}

I=\dfrac{10^3\ V}{893692.30\ \Omega}

I = 0.0011 A

So, the current flowing in the rod is 0.0011 A. Hence, this is the required solution.
